Transfer photos from PC to iMac
Hello
Two years ago, I decided to scan and put all our family photos in digital format (some will to the 1890s), which I just finished several months ago. I used a Windows operating system and the PC to manage the process. Recently, I poured out my Windows and PC hardware for an iMac and MacBook Pro.
The last month I have transferred all my photos from my PC to my iMac system. But when the transfer took place in the Organization of the files I had in place has been lost - some of the pictures that were in the displaced and slept files in folders, others are just grouped in one section. I had a folder for each year. First few years had only a few pictures. A few years had both single photos and pictures inside the files.
I tried to figure out how my iMac "reads" and organizes the photos, but have not been able to understand.
Can someone tell the best way to transfer photos from a Windows system to an iMac system and maintain the integrity of the file structure?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you
Lou
You probably do not use the Photos provided with your computer, app if you were then you would have found Photos for Mac organizes your photos how you want. I strongly suggest to use Photos to store your photos, organize them and when it is necessary to improve them.
If are unaware of the Photos please start by http://www.apple.com/osx/photos/
You can also find many tutorials for the Photos if you do a bit of research, even Youtube has free tutorials.

best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive
If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.
If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

How can I transfer photos from film on iPad mini iMac
I have pictures on my camera iPad mini roll which do not seem to have been downloaded on my iMac.
I often will have pictures from an Sd Card (with adapters) or wifi from my camera to my iPad but not, when I got home, of course to my iMac.
I need to make room on my iPad how do I transfer it to my iMac. (I'm still under Maverick, I know! iPad ISO9.2.1 running)
I do not use the cloud to store my photos just transfer them via the photo stream.
The photos are not all on my photo gallery. The photos will go back two years. !
I recently activated photo stream (October, last year) photos to transfer photos from my iMac iPhoto events if some are OK. I used the info forum to delete several of these photos.
To check if I remove a photo from my roll of picture on my iPad, it is not deleted from my iMac, correct? and according to the original question, I need to transfer photos to my iMac.
IF you have photos that have not been transferred to the Mac because they predate photo stream, you can import them from the film by connecting the iPad to Mac with the cable and launch iPhoto or Image Capture. Your iPad must appears as a device in the left of either of the two apps bar and you will be able to import photos and then delete them from the iPad if you want to do.

As long as the photos have been imported to the Mac, you can delete them from the camera without them being removed from the Mac.
.. nothing wrong with still run Mavericks if you are uncomfortable with him and it meets your needs. I'm still in Yosemite with no desire to go straight, to El Capitan

due to lack of space on my HARD drive, I moved Photoslibrary to a USB port. When I connect my iPhone 6 I am able to transfer photos from my phone to the PhotosLibrary on the USB port, but when I sync, photo library is not get highlighted on the USB port. Cannot synchronize.
Hello, manoj0910.
Please visit Apple support communities.
Looks like you can't synchronize the pictures located on your external drive. I need a little more information about your configuration to provide a better answer. However, we will try to sync your photos through the section of the file through the article below. You just need to direct iTunes to where your photos are stored on your external drive.
If your photos are in a folder
- Select "Choose a folder" from the context menu.
- Choose the folder where you store your photos.
- Click on apply.
You can arrange photos in subfolders to create photo albums.

How to transfer photos from pictures to Dropbox?
How can I transfer photos from pictures to Dropbox? I used to be able to drag just when I used iPhoto, but since the upgrade for Photos is not. Anyone has any ideas, other than to return to iPhoto?
Thank you.

Pictures interface is a little interesting... up in the title bar, there is a set of arrows that comes of years the collection and finally moments. You cannot select an image until you are at times. Once you are at times, you can select an image and it can drag on the desktop. However, I suggest that rather than drag on the desktop that you select the image (or images), and then select export on the file menu. This option allows you to make choices on the photo (s), including where you want to put, if you do not want to put them in a subfolder and a few other nice options.
